SUMMARY:Fooling Hitler: Operation Mincemeat
DESCRIPTION:Spies\, Lies and Secret Missions: The Unsung Jewish Heroes of World War Two\nStarting in late October\, Jewish Renaissance and Lyons Learning Project in association with Insiders/Outsiders are hosting a series of online events exploring the hugely significant and often surprising ways in which Jews – many of them former refugees from Nazism interned by the British in 1940 – contributed to the Allied war effort. \nAll the events will start at 8pm \n \nOn 25 November\, there will be a discussion about Operation Mincemeat\, the subject of a thrilling book by Ben Macintyre\, soon to appear as a film with Colin Firth. One of the brains behind this ingenious hoax that successfully disguised the 1943 Allied invasion of Sicily was Jewish intelligence officer Ewen Montagu\, a member of whose family will be present. \nImage: The officers of HMS Seraph\, the submarine selected for Operation Mincemeat\, December 1943 \n  \nFor further details and to book\, click here.

SUMMARY:Virtual Tour - From Streamform to Arts and Crafts
DESCRIPTION:Virtual Walking Tour \n\nThis virtual walk goes back historically in time\, looking at architectural styles from between the wars on the North side of Hampstead Garden Suburb\, starting at the Modernist East Finchley station (1939) and finishing with arts and crafts cottages from 1913-14. As well as admiring the architecture we discuss some of the people that the street names commemorate\, many of whom relate to the Christian Socialist movement and the early Garden City Movement \nThis is a live virtual tour hosted via Zoom video conferencing where your guide will give an illustrated presentation of the tour route with an accompanying talk. There will be opportunities for questions and interaction both during and after the virtual tour. \n  \nTo book\, click here. \n\n  \n“Marilyn Greene’s ‘From Streamform to Arts and Crafts’ was a fascinating walk through a less famous part of Hampstead Garden Suburb\, built mainly in the thirties. She explained and drew our attention to all kinds of fascinating details on these lovely houses\, backed up with anecdotes and names and dates. Very rewarding.”\n5* Trip Advisor Review

SUMMARY:Jennifer Langer: The Search
DESCRIPTION:Dr Jennifer Langer in conversation with fellow poet Dr Aviva Dautch about her debut poetry collection The Search & about Exiled Writers Ink \nThe Search by Jennifer Langer is an exploration of the poet’s complex sense of identity as the daughter of German Jewish refugees who fled Nazi Germany for Britain. Crucially\, her sensibility of otherness is dialogically engaged with contemporary refugees and the oppressed. Born of the history of loss and of refugee roots\, the poet dreams of a lost world attempting to snatch at fragments and striving to create a narrative yet she is also compelled to confront current tensions arising from the diverse facets of this identity.  \nJennifer is founding director of Exiled Writers Ink which brings together established and developing migrant and refugee writers from repressive regimes and war-torn situations. Established in 2000\, it is an ever-expanding organisation that provides a space for exiled writers to be heard\, develops and promotes their creative literary expression\, and advocates human rights through literature and literary activism. \nTo book\, click here.

SUMMARY:From Internee to Art Collector: Tribute to Ruth Borchard
DESCRIPTION:Born near Hamburg in 1910\, the writer Ruth Borchard came as a German-Jewish refugee to Britain in 1938. As an ‘enemy alien’ in wartime she was imprisoned first in Holloway Prison\, then interned in Rushen women’s camp on the Isle of Man. Her fictionalised memoir We Are Strangers Here: An Enemy Alien in Prison in 1940\, only published after her death\, provides a rare insight into life as a refugee in Holloway Prison. \nBetween 1958 and 1971 she amassed a superb collection of over 100 self-portraits by British-based artists\, well-known and less well-known\, which provides a fascinating overview of British portraiture in the mid-twentieth century \nAfter her death in 2000\, the collection was transferred to a charitable trust to become the Original Ruth Borchard Collection\, under the custodianship of Piano Nobile. In 2011 a biennial self-portrait prize was set up in her name\, with a selection of submitted works acquired for the Next Generation Collection. For more information\, click here. \nThe film being screened was made by Unity House for Sky Arts in 2020\, to coincide with an exhibition of works from the Ruth Borchard Collection being shown on the Isle of Man. \nIt will be followed by a Q&A with\, we hope\, members of Ruth’s family as well as others intimately familiar with her life story and achievements. \nThis event is held in partnership with Jewish Renaissance magazine. \nTo book\, click here. \nImage: Michael Noakes\, Ruth Borchard (detail)\, 1958\, oil on canvas\, 52 x 42 cm.

SUMMARY:Carry Gorney: ‘Send me a Parcel with a Hundred Lovely Things’
DESCRIPTION:In her memoir Send me a Parcel with a Hundred Lovely Things\, Carry Gorney considers how her own life was shaped by her refugee antecedents’ experience of displacement and reinvention – ordinary people caught up in extraordinary times. The book includes extracts from her parents’ letters\, revealing a historic resentment and suspicion of refugees and a unique picture of the internment camps on the Isle of Man. \nThe latter will form the focus of this online event\, which will comprise a dramatised reading by two professional actors of some of these moving extracts. \nIn Carry’s own words: “working over many years as an artist\, film maker\, writer and psychotherapist. I have used creative arts to create and enhance communities by linking lives. My goal has always been to strengthen the threads which connect us across beliefs\, across ethnicity and across time.” \nFor more information about Carry and her work\, see Carry Gorney: Writer and Artist \nThis event is held in partnership with Jewish Renaissance magazine. \nTo book\, click here. \nImage: Send Me A Parcel With A Hundred Lovely Things\, bookcover (detail)

SUMMARY:Second World War Internment in the UK – September 1939 to July 1940
DESCRIPTION:Before war was formally declared\, British intelligence was already gathering lists of potentially dangerous ‘enemy aliens’ who held German or Austrian citizenship. Small numbers of arrests were made in the days before Britain declared war against Germany\, and these arrests continued as Germans and Austrians living in the UK went before tribunals\, but only for those categorised as A (the other two categories being B – subject to restrictions but remaining at liberty and C – genuine refugees from Nazi oppression). \nIt was not until May 1940\, when Britain was at very real risk of invasion\, that internment policy drastically changed. The East and South Coasts were declared to be ‘protected areas’\, and foreign nationals living in those areas arrested and interned. Soon afterwards\, all Category Bs were rounded up\, whether male or female\, with some children included. In June and July\, men who were Category C were also arrested. \nThis talk by historian Rachel Pistol\, author of Internment During the Second World War: A Comparative Study of Great Britain and the USA (2017) and co-editor of British Internment and the Internment of Britons: Second World War Camps\, History and Heritage (forthcoming\, with Bloomsbury)\, will examine the first nine months of internment\, from the earliest camps on the UK mainland to the establishment of semi-permanent camps on the Isle of Man\, including the controversial transport abroad scheme that sent five ships to Canada and Australia\, only four of which arrived at their planned destinations. \nThis event is held in partnership with Jewish Renaissance magazine. \nTo book\, click here. \nImage: Warth Mills\, situated in the Redvales area of Bury on the River Irwell\, pictured in the late 1800s.

SUMMARY:Arthur\, Ernestine and Marianne Segal: Painting\, Education and Therapy
DESCRIPTION:Arthur Segal\, The Artist’s Hand\, 1941\, Guildhall Art Gallery\nOnline Event \n\nIn 1936 refugee artist and educator Arthur Segal (1875-1944) founded his ‘Painting School for Professionals and Non-Professionals’ in Bloomsbury with his wife Ernestine and daughter Marianne\, having fled Berlin in 1933. The Segals taught using a set of ‘objective principles of painting’ that Arthur had formulated during the 1920s which\, in a rejection of pre-WW1 Expressionism\, focused on representing subjects from life naturalistically by focusing on light\, form and colour. Rooted in convictions about the inherent value of art making and the ‘learnability’ of painting\, the school taught amateur as well as professional artists\, and\, with much support from Ernestine and Marianne\, Arthur also developed an early form of art therapy in Britain. \nForming partnerships with psychoanalysts and psychiatrists\, he disseminated his ideas about art’s therapeutic uses in these circles and gave painting lessons to adults and children for psychological purposes. During the war\, the school also ran a programme for Members of the Forces under the Army Education Scheme. In this talk\, Imogen Wiltshire will discuss Segal’s approach to art making\, the mechanisms and networks through which the family established themselves socially and professionally\, and the contributions they made to art education and therapeutic care in Britain. \nDr Imogen Wiltshire is an art historian specialising in modern and contemporary art\, based at the University of Leicester. In May 2021 she co-organised a symposium on second-generation visual artists\, the recordings of which are available here. \n  \nTo book. click here.

SUMMARY:Avram Stencl: The Yiddish Poet of Whitechapel
DESCRIPTION:Online Event \n\nThis illustrated talk by Rachel Lichtenstein examines the life and work of London’s foremost Yiddish poet Avram Nachum Stencl (1897–1983) who was born in Poland in the late nineteenth century into a rabbinical dynasty. In 1921 he settled in Berlin and began publishing his poetry\, which attracted the attention of the literary elite\, including Thomas Mann. \nAfter narrowly escaping the Gestapo he arrived in London in 1936 and spent the rest of his life passionately dedicated to the preservation of the Yiddish language. Stencl became one of the most familiar figures of Jewish Whitechapel\, standing outside the lecture halls\, meeting places and cafes\, crying out\, koyfts a heft! – Buy a pamphlet. He established the longest running literary group in the UK but is now practically unknown. \nCome and learn more about this extraordinary figure. If you have memories of Stencl to share Rachel would be delighted to hear from you. \nDr Rachel Lichtenstein is a writer\, curator and artist. Her publications include Estuary: Out from London to the Sea\, Diamond Street\, On Brick Lane\, Rodinsky’s Room\, Keeping Pace: Older Women of the East End\, A Little Dust Whispered and Rodinsky’s Whitechapel. Her artwork has been widely exhibited both in the UK and internationally. She is a Reader in Creative Writing and History at Manchester Metropolitan University and currently writing a book on Stencl and on Jewish Women of the East End.
